Hey Guys, I am wondering is there some hidden function that can get the color values of a pixel in a bitmap at a specific coordinate? There is the GetPixel primitive which can be used, but I hoped to use ruby for it. I was thinking something like @bitmap.getARGB(12,23) but that ofcourse didnt work

See this (my) post: http://www.dsprobotics.com/support/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14697

Still no real way that I have found, but I am no RUBY expert, that's for sure

Trog has some REALLY good info in the post though!

hello everyone,
To get the pixel color from a bitmap using Ruby, you can use the ChunkyPNG library's Color module. This module provides various methods to extract color information from a PNG image, including the from_rgba method that returns the red, green, blue, and alpha values of a pixel at a given coordinate.

Oh dear!

That one got past me, but I’ll leave it in place as an example. Thanks for pointing it out and if it happens again maybe you can let me know…
It was clever because it seemed to fit the topic and my knowledge of Ruby is very limited.

I’ll remove the link though.

Haha, a good way to gage if its a bot is to check the registration date and the first post date:

Only after 1 minute they post...seems like 100% bot Usually a real person checks around the topics and browses a little before posting

Good points. I may get caught again, but at least I’m wise to it now.

I think my best approach, if in doubt, would be to ask a question before I allow the post to appear. No sensible answer and it doesn’t get posted.

Shoot first ask questions later?
